After the Civil War ended, things were hard. People don’t know what to do. There lives had changed. This unhappiness moved over from there lives to the written page. Thusly the Southern Gothic is formed. From this, came the really good story called A Good man is Hard to Find. This story tells the story of a man and his family who are going to Florida, even though the grandma doesn’t want to; because of the criminal that escaped prison named the Misfit, who unsurprisingly plays a very important part in the story, because they meet him after they get in a car crash, which was caused by the grandmother who thought that this house she used to live in was up this dirt road, but she was wrong, which leads to the death of her and her entire family,

This situation is ironic, because the only time Grandma brings up Jesus is when her life is being threatened. It is not mentioned earlier in the story, so it can almost be assumed that Grandma is not as religious as she wants the reader and the Misfit to think. She thinks she can use religion to get out of this
